NUMBER:6235
AUTHOR:Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
QUOTATION:I like a church; I like a cowl;
I like a prophet of the soul;
And on my heart monastic aisles
Fall like sweet strains or pensive smiles:
Yet not for all his faith can see
Would I that cowléd churchman be.
ATTRIBUTION:The Problem.
BIOGRAPHY:Columbia Encyclopedia.
